To Love a Highland Rogue

Heart of a Scot Book 1

Collette Cameron's book, "To love a Highland Rogue", had super sweet characters and a storyline that was out of the ordinary as far as historical romance goes. I don't think that I have ever read a historical fiction book with a similar plot. Basically, Mayra has been pledged to marry a future laird of a neighboring clan. However, Mayra doesn't remember meeting Logan. Logan has problems of his own, his dad has just died and left his evil stepmother behind and they spent all of Mayra's dowry entrusted to them which means that Logan cannot break the betrothal. Logan disguises himself as his cousin to get to know Mayra's character and drama ensues.

This book was quick to draw me in and probably took about two hours to read. The characters were well developed and they were realistic. As far as readability goes, the editing of this book was relatively smooth. I didn't notice any major hiccups. The POV did change between Logan and Mayra within the chapters, but was done with great finesse. However, the Scottish brogue was a bit inconsistent as the book went on. The plot was wrapped up nicely and this book was not a cliffhanger (Thank God!!). This was also a sweet historical romance with no smutty scenes. Definitely worth reading!

A Scottish lass determined to end her betrothal.

As an infant, Mayra Findlay’s hand was pledged in marriage. So closely has her virtue been guarded, she’s never been permitted a beau—has never even flirted with a man. However, after a chance encounter with a dashing rogue who sets her pulse and imagination cavorting, Mayra initiates a scheme that’s sure to force her affianced to call off their union.

The laird who must make her his at all cost.

Until Logan Rutherford, Laird of Lockelieth Keep, inherited a near bankrupt estate, he had no intention of wedding the lass he was betrothed to as a wee lad. Now he needs Mayra’s remaining dowry to save his beloved Lockelieth. However, before they exchange vows, he’s determined to know just what type of woman he’s reluctantly taking to wife. So he assumes his cousin’s identity; a decision that soon has him snared in a tangled web of deceit.

Caution: This historical romance contains one rakish fiery-haired Scot accustomed to getting his own way, a lass who’s fed-up with men dictating her life, and stubborn gelding with a superior attitude.
